Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Sb22 Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. Both examiners operate within 1 distinct art unit, pointing to a concentrated technical focus for the company's current prosecution efforts. The concentration of both matters in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company can expect a uniform application of technical standards across its 2 pending office actions.
The busiest examiner for the company is HYLINSKI, STEVEN J, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the workload is evenly distributed. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit may simplify the prosecution strategy, as the company only needs to navigate the specific guidelines of a single technical group while dealing with 2 different examiners. This structure allows for a focused prosecution approach within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area, even though the company must address the individual perspectives of 2 different examiners.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
